@RandPaul My friend and ally @SecKennedy will be under attack from the establishment of both parties at the Senate HELP hearing tomorrow. I will defend him. Ask you Senator and Senate GOP HELPS members to do the same.

The Trump administration’s first US weapons aid packages for Ukraine have been approved and could soon ship as Washington resumes sending arms to Kyiv - this time under a new financial agreement with allies, two sources familiar with the situation told Reuters on Tuesday. This is the first use of a new mechanism developed by the US and allies to supply Ukraine with weapons from US stocks using funds from NATO countries. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby has approved as many as two $500 million shipments under the new mechanism called the Priority Ukraine Requirements List, known under...

Rolling Stone was hit with a series of high-profile layoffs this week, which we can only hope means the magazine will get what it deserves: a long, slow, painful, and humiliating death. “An unknown number of Rolling Stone staff, including some of the storied publication’s most prominent voices, were laid off on Monday,” reports the far-left Wrap. Tee hee. Those s******ed include “executive digital director Lisa Tozzi, chief television critic Alan Sepinwall and copy chief Steven Pearl.” Learn to coalmine. …

Popular conservative creator Matt Walsh called for Attorney General Pam Bondi to be fired immediately after she said businesses must allow fans of Charlie Kirk to print posters in honor of the slain Turning Point USA founder. Walsh said that comment, to go along with Bondi’s recent statement on targeting “hate speech” against Kirk, as well as her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, make it clear President Donald Trump needs to fire her. “Get rid of her. Today. This is insane,” Walsh posted on X on Tuesday, in response to a clip of Bondi talking about companies not being...

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday personally supervised the joint Russian-Belarusian military exercises Zapad-2025, the Kremlin said. Putin arrived at the Mulino training ground in the Nizhny Novgorod region wearing a military uniform as he is also commander-in-chief of the Russian army. Addressing the participants, the president said the goal of the exercises is to practice defending the Union State – a name for the alliance between Russia and Belarus – from any aggression. "The purpose of this exercise is to train all necessary elements for unconditional protection of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and defense against any aggression towards the Union...

HOLY CRAP! Kash Patel just absolutely DESTROYED Cory Booker KASH: “Your rant of false information does NOT bring this country together. It is MY TIME to address your falsehoods. You are an EMBARRASSMENT to this country.” BOOKER: *melts down* You don’t tell me my time is over! You can’t lecture me!” KASH: “This is MY time. Not yours.”

Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy pressed FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday to continue the release of files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, specifically information about who other than Epstein, if anyone, was on the receiving end of girls and women being sex trafficked. “The issue’s not gonna go away,” said Kennedy during the Senate Judiciary Committee’s FBI oversight hearing, where Patel was testifying. “I think you’re gonna have to do more to satisfy the American people’s understandable curiosity in that regard.” Kennedy’s comments were notable as the Trump administration battles complaints about the Justice Department’s slow, piecemeal approach to...

A 12-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man have been charged with second-degree murder in connection with a series of violent robberies of homeless or vulnerable people in downtown Toronto last month. “This was a disturbing crime spree,” Toronto Police Det. Stacey McCabe, of the Homicide and Missing Persons Unit, told a press conference Monday. “It’s concerning that these young people would be targeting such vulnerable members of our city.” The Aug. 31 spree involved five incidents including one at 6:08 a.m. that police say turned fatal. A 62-year-old man was sleeping on a bench in the Queen and Bay Streets...

BATON ROUGE — A woman accused of getting on a school bus and encouraging her daughter to attack another student was arrested by Baton Rouge Police, arrest records show. Alicia Clark, 27, was driving in the same direction as her daughter's school bus on the morning of Sept. 11 when she saw the doors of the bus swing open and her daughter having a fist fight with another student, she told police. Clark said she then got on the bus to break up the fight before taking her daughter and leaving. However, a review of surveillance footage showed that Clark...

Now, it has been confirmed that he is on suicide watch in the jail’s Special Housing Unit. Take a look: VIDEOS AT LINK...................... On Sunday, the Utah County Sheriff stated that Tyler Robinson will continue to be on “special watch” for at least several more days.

Heather Cox Richardson, a center-left historian with the biggest following out of any individual on Substack, spread an appalling lie about Charlie Kirk’s assassin in a post published Sunday. Richardson has over 2.6 million subscribers to her Substack, a newsletter presumably read by scores of center-left, ‘normie’ liberals. She is a history professor at Boston College, has interviewed former President Joe Biden, and is planning to interview with The Bulwark. By no means is she a fringe figure, nor is she, at least on the surface, a radical; if anything, she is someone who would be welcomed on a show...

Teachers, professors, and faculty members fired from their jobs for making nasty comments over Charlie Kirk's death. These teachers are really nasty evil creatures. They have no business teaching anybody. Good thing they've been sacked.

This past weekend, three men competed in a women's bike race and one of them crushed all the competitors without remorse.

He dominated this race from the start. It wasn’t even really a race at all, he was just way out front the entire time. Mr. Wolfe did not have a good showing at all. Maybe...

George Zinn, the first suspect detained after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, was hit with four counts related to child porn charges. Zinn was immediately cuffed and taken into custody after TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated at the “American Comeback Tour” event at Utah Valley University last Wednesday. According to reports, George Zinn falsely told police he shot Charlie Kirk. He was charged with obstruction of justice. Zinn was taken to a local hospital after complaining about chest pains, and that is when law enforcement went through his phone. Authorities discovered the child porn on Zinn’s phone. Zinn told law...

There are a whole lot of people who need to make that admission in public more than I do. But I don’t mind being first. It’s the truth, and I’d like to explain why. I never paid that much attention to Charlie Kirk when he was alive. I knew who he was, what a prodigy he seemed to be, and that more and more people on the right were listening to him. But I’m not his target audience: young. So I just said, “Okay, good luck,” and went on with my day. But years ago, Kirk figured out something that...

A customer's attempt to honour the late conservative activist by having his name printed on her cup was reportedly denied, with a barista claiming the company's system blocks "political names."

Around the Fire: The True Power of StorytellingThere was a time, thousands of years ago, when the day’s work was done and the people of a tribe would gather around a fire. There was no television, no printing press, no smartphones — just the night sky, the crackle of flame, and the voice of the storyteller. This figure wasn’t just a source of entertainment. He was the keeper of the tribe’s soul.Through his stories, children learned who they were supposed to be. The brave were praised, the cowardly shamed. The heroes were honored with tales that would last generations, while...

Rooney plays Dan Brady, a mechanic in Santa Monica. A regular guy who wants something just a little out of reach - a date with a pretty girl and a chance to feel like more than just a grease monkey. The girl's name is Vera, a seductive diner waitress played by Jeanne Cagney (yes...Jimmy’s sister), who turns out to be far more manipulative than she first appears. Dan’s descent starts with something as small as “borrowing” $20 from the shop register to impress Vera. That one choice snowballs fast...suddenly he’s tangled up in situations where each one makes you...

The body of 21-year-old student Demartravion “Trey” Reed was found hanging in a tree on the campus of Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi on Monday. Campus police chief Michale J. Peeler told reporters no foul play is suspected and the death is considered a suicide, despite no official cause of death yet being released by the county coroner’s office. Members of Reed’s family have stated both his arms and one of his legs were also broken, however police have disputed this. "At this time, there is no evidence of foul play," Peeler said. "But while there is no evidence...

[Catholic Caucus] The Death of Europe | Will Leo XIV visit Lampedusa? A Grave Mistake -- and the Lampedusans themselves would not be happyery few things made European Catholics more unhappy with Francis than his tone-deaf approach to the criminal enterprise bringing millions of illegal migrants to Europe, and deeply changing the demographics, religion, and criminality of vast areas of the Continent.And the main early symbol of that attitude was Francis' visit to one of the most popular destinations used by the people-smuggling gangs: the small island of Lampedusa, in Sicily. Lampedusa was, for instance, the first spot in Europe...
